VFT1295
For sale here is a very scarce Meek 55 fly reel made by the Horton Manufacturing Company in Bristol, Connecticut. These reels appeared in the Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs and this one includes an A&F stamp on the back of the frame. Serial number 2061 on the foot. Nickel silver spool latch with spiral knurling. Very good condition overall. Designed for right hand retrieve. The diameter of the reel is 3 1/8" with a spool width of 5/8". The reel foot is full length and unmodified. The ebonite handle is in fine condition and spins freely on its post. The click is nice and strong. There is some noticeable end play like many of the latch "Uniqua" styled reels. A must have for Abercrombie & Fitch collectors out there!
